In 2005, a giant mountain of abandoned fridges was cleared away from a lot in East London to make way for Zaha Hadid's Olympic Aquatic Centre. As a way to celebrate the area's industrial past before the glory of the Olympics, Lindsey Scannapieco decided to resurrect the "<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3572/3367015181_7ab706cf72.jpg" target="_blank">Fridge Mountain</a>" by starting a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/fetching-folly-for-a-flyover-cinema-in-london-is-built-with-only-reclaimed-materials/">pop up cinema</a> made of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/igloo-made-from-300-refrigerators-springs-up-in-germany/">old fridges</a> and upcycled materials. Called <a href="http://www.filmsonfridges.com/" target="_blank">Films On Fridges</a>, the playful and interactive outdoor theatre will be open from July 27th through August 13th and is showing 12 screenings of classic sports films as a tribute the upcoming games.

Scannapieco was helped out by her business partner Mat Triebner and Emma Rutherford, an architecture student at London Met University, who turned the wacky vision into a reality.

Fridges were also used to create bench seats that were placed around the vacant lot for people to sit on and enjoy the sites.
